2021-12-23
Abstract excerpt
Genetic alterations and environmental factors contribute towards pathogenesis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a neurodegenerative disease. Various types of mutations in the autophagy receptor protein optineurin (coded by OPTN gene) including deletions are causatively associated with ALS. To explore the role of OPTN in ALS pathogenesis, we used Optn knockout mice to study the features of ALS. The Optn-defi...
